You can get the client IP sent in the request using the PHP function:

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']

However, this function should be considered unsafe, as this can be forged by the connecting party. This is, however, the most reliable way to get the IP address in PHP. Limiting by IP in PHP, generally speaking, is not a good idea for secure applications, but may be useful for many reasons.

See: http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

One way to limit access to an application is to place the following on the calling script such as this:

<?php
  // set to your IP
  $sYourIP = '192.168.0.25';
  // will kill execution if the remote address sent is not the one specified.
   if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != $sYourIP){
     die('Sorry, this is limited to IP: ' . $sYourIP);
  }

?>

P.S. also remember IPv6 is a valid schema, and if your networked PHP server serves to IPv6, then you should support this.
